Checking Up
-Whoa! I'm not Bucksey!
-Of course not! Fellow with same last name
as yours insists we call him that. But, don't
worry, because it's your voluminous medical
file I have before me.
-No nicknames in my family. Ever! The children
addressed by first and middle always. With,
naturally, Father, Father, and Mother, Mother!
-Did you get a sense of structure, order?
-Might have if it wasn't daily chaos.
-Well, everybody tried.
-No semblance of order until Father died.
Then my mother married another woman.
-How did that make you feel?
-That's the psychiatrist's question!
-We borrow liberally.
-Why isn’t this stuff digital?
-We tried, but were immediately sued.
-Epidemic around here.
